Bashar:  All right, I'll say, how are you all this dream time?

AUD:     (various answers)

Bashar:     Allow us to begin with an idea we have shared with many of you
recently, and which we will reintroduce from this particular avenue, this
particular perspective this evening of your time, as another way to
perceive the idea of all the blending of polarity that you have been doing
in your lives of late.

Now, we have discussed with you many ideas of polarity, many ideas of
attitudes in understanding the blending of positive and negative energy;
but allow us at this time to point out another analogy that may allow you a
little more opportunity to recognize the ease with which you can create
positive action, positive manifestation in your life.  Now, many of you
already are aware of the analogy you utilize in your own society that you
call an if/or situation having both sides of the coin.  Do recognize, as we
have discussed many times, that with any one side of the coin, along
automatically comes the other side of the coin, and so this is simply
another way to say that everything-cause and effect, positive and negative-
are simply both sides of the same event, and are always present
simultaneously.  The opportunity for the manifestation of any situation
into either a positive or negative manifestation is, in that sense,
typically, generally equal within any given neutral situation, as we have
discussed many times.

Your ability to bring into a situation the particular attitude that
determines and reflects and represents the beliefs that you are, as we have
said, once again will determine the effect you get out of the situation.
Negative attitude going in... negative effect coming out. Positive attitude
going in... positive effect coming out, since all situations, once again,
are neutral, blank, and have no built-in meaning.

Now, the idea of the blending of this polarity: many times we sense that in
you, because you have long experienced the dichotomy of, on the one hand
and on the other hand, the this, the that, the positive, the negative, the
back, the forth.  The idea of attempting to maintain that balance, or what
seems to you to be a need to maintain that balance to allow yourself to
create the opportunity to have the decision, to have the choice.  To choose
which one you prefer, which manifestation you prefer in your life, positive
or negative.  These ideas you have been dealing with.

Now, let us add one more dimension, and that is the edge of the coin.  Many
of you, well, perhaps, positively considering the idea at first, simply
say, well the edge of the coin represents where the two sides are equal,
are balanced, are blended, and thus it is a neutral state.  Not quite.
Allow us to put it in very colloquial terms.  Now, not exactly in these
ratios, because this is your own terminology.  Not exactly in this way; but
we will say it in this way: the universe is very slightly biased towards
the positive, and this is because the edge of the coin, the balance state,
equilibrium by definition, gives you an opportunity, and brings with it,
because it is a blending, a slight tilt in the positive direction.  So you
will understand therefore that it is not that you must go through the 50%
of the negative, the 50% of the positive.  The negative is, in a sense,
49%, the positive is 51%.  So even if you can allow yourself to maintain
even simply the balance state, even arrive in the limbo state, even arrive
at the neutral, or what you used to consider the neutral point, you will
then automatically allow a flow, no matter how small, of positive
manifestation to begin to kick into your life, which will then be able to
built up, as you say, snowball and accelerate in a positive direction.  You
all follow along?

AUD  -  Yes.

Bashar --  The edge of the coin gives you an edge, allows you to recognize
that even if you are creating a reality in which it seems that everything
is going negatively, if you will at least release, let go, and cease to
worry about it, and go back to your zero rest point, then you will not
remain in limbo.  You will not remain in neutrality for very long, because
the zero rest point by definition is slightly integrative, and therefore
slightly in the positive direction.

That is why, simply, all you really need to do when it comes right down to
it, it is simply center, and that alone will point you towards positive
acceleration, positive synchronicity, and positive manifestation in your
life.  Do you follow along?

AUD  Yes.

Bashar--  It may be, at times, seemingly, a very subtle and ethereal line;
but once you are simply in that state of trust, in that state of release,
and in that state of centering, all positive manifestation, like anything,
becomes automatic.  All the details will take care of themselves and fall
right into place.  So, in this dream time, simply, once again, realize you
do not have to try so hard.  You do not have to struggle.  You do not have
to create the idea of making or forcing anything to happen.  If you are
willing to simply allow yourself to rest in the very highly active state of
centering, you will then allow the flow of your natural positive
manifestation to begin to trickle, perhaps at first, drop by drop into your
life; but as long as you continue to allow yourself to remain in the rest
point, the drops will become a stream, which will become a river, which
will become a flood of positive manifestation.  Trust.  Relaxation.  After
all, do you not associate the experience of a dream with relaxation?  You
are in a state of rest when you experience what you call a dream.  To allow
your physical reality to become as a dream, be in a state of rest, and all
life will be as a dream, and all dreams will be alive and real, and the
dimension of your imagination will know no bounds, and will be the natural
state of your existence.
